I discovered the first book in this trilogy in my quest to find something I love like the Kitty Katt-Martini/Touched by an Alien series, and these are right up there. Some of these I will re-read because I know I am going to love them.Ĭrown of Shards series – Kill the Queen, Protect the Prince, Crush the King. This week I am focusing on some completed series that were must-reads when they released. These might be books I buy or books I get at the library, but either way, I am NOT missing a book in these series. Last week I posted what I consider my “Must Read” series that are still growing. I am on a “sabbatical” from my blog this month, so I am sharing some posts that compile information my readers might find useful. Suzanne Stabile – Suzanne is my favorite Enneagram teacher, so while I might be more skeptical of other books until I can look at them first, hers I pick up automatically. Jessie Mihalik – I have loved both the Consortium Rebellion series and the new/in process Starlight’s Shadow series, so I have also purchased – but not yet read – the author’s Rogue Queen series. (Crown of Shards series, Gargoyle Queen series) are perfect for me, so I buy those the minute I know there’s a new one available.

Jennifer Estep – While the author’s Elemental Assassin series didn’t grab me, her books set in Bellona/Andvari/etc. I don’t even teach anymore, but I can’t get enough of her philosophy of reading and teaching readers. But when she publishes a book, I pay attention and pick it up – The Book Whisperer, Reading in the Wild, The Joy of Reading, Game Changer, Commonsense Guide to Your Classroom Library. All terrific!ĭonalyn Miller – This is a tricky one, because Donalyn is primarily a teacher rather than an author. All winners for me.Īlly Carter – This is another author I have read for years and followed from series to series – Gallagher Girls, Heist Society, Embassy Row, Not If I Save You First, Winterborne Home.

From The Naturals series to The Fixer (FAVE) to the Debutantes to the Inheritance Games. I don’t think I have EVER bought a book of hers and not enjoyed it. Jennifer Lynn Barnes – JLB has been a must-buy author for me for ages. It was far easier to come up with lists of my must-read series the last couple weeks than it is to come up with a list of auto-buy authors. One thing that has changed is I have fewer authors I “buy automatically.” I don’t know if that’s because I have been burned on books I just didn’t like from some of my former go-to authors or if it’s because my own reading tastes have changed. I thought 6 years was plenty of time to try that list again and see what’s changed. Back in the early weeks of my blog, I did a post called 8 Authors I Buy Automatically.
